Summary of Findings

The 2009 changes to New York’s drug laws included a requirement to study the impact of the changes (see Section 837, (4) (b-1) of the Executive Law). DCJS coordinates this effort in partnership with other state agencies, including the Office of Court Administration (OCA), the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), and the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS). DCJS also works with New York City agencies, district attorneys’ offices, and Alternative to Incarceration (ATI) programs to obtain additional data not available at the State level.

This report presents an update of trends in criminal case processing and participation in treatment diversion programs before and after implementation of the 2009 drug law changes. Trend data is presented through 2011.

Since implementation of Criminal Procedural Law (CPL) Article 216 in October 2009:

• Drug commitments to prison decreased 33%, from 5,190 in 2008 to 3,513 in 2011 (page 4). This was due to in part to fewer felony drug arrests and in part to increased diversion.

• The large counties outside of New York City had the largest decreases in drug commitments to prison (page 4).

• The biggest decline in commitments was seen for black individuals, followed by Hispanic individuals (page 8).

• Admissions to felony drug courts increased from 1,039 in 2008 to 1,975 in 2011 (page 29). At the same time, the number of participants in other diversion programs declined (pages 10-22).

• The majority (84%) of individuals admitted into drug court programs were not facing a mandatory prison sentence at arraignment (page 30).

• As of June 1, 2012, 645 offenders serving indeterminate B sentences had been resentenced (page 37).

• Arrests for felony class B, C, D and E drug offenses in 2008 and 2010 were followed to initial case disposition, including diversion outcomes. These arrest flows show that, in New York City and smaller counties upstate, there has been minimal change in the processing of felony drug offenders who are first time felons (pages 10-22).

• When drug offenders with a prior felony on their record were followed, the analysis showed fewer going to prison. The most substantial changes were found outside of New York City (pages 10-22).

• DCJS will continue to provide interim updates and is designing a longer term evaluation in collaboration with OCA, OASAS and DOCCS. The evaluation will study recidivism outcomes of drug offenders who receive prison sentences compared to the outcomes of those who are diverted to drug court or receive a jail or probation sentence. The evaluation will commence in 2013 in order to allow sufficient time for a cohort of drug court participants diverted after October 2009 to complete treatment.

Summary of 2005 and 2009 Drug Law Changes

January 2005 • Determinate sentencing provisions for drug offenses took effect. • Resentencing authorized for A-I felony drug offenders in prison custody who were serving an

indeterminate sentence.

October 2005 • Resentencing authorized for A-II felony drug offenders in prison custody who were serving an

indeterminate sentence.

April 2009 • Eliminated mandatory minimum prison sentences for 1st B drug convictions (can now be

sentenced to local jail time or probation). • Reduced minimum prison sentence for 2nd B drug convictions from 3½ years to 2 years. • Eliminated mandatory minimum prison sentences for 2nd C, D, and E drug convictions (jail or

probation now an option). • Expanded eligibility for Shock participation: age limit increased to 49; B 2nd drug offenders

now eligible; “aging in” authorized – inmates in general confinement facilities otherwise eligible for Shock can now be approved for Shock when they are within three years of parole eligibility (for indeterminately sentenced inmates) or conditional release (for those who are determinately sentenced).

• Expanded eligibility to Willard Drug Treatment Campus for those convicted of 1st felony B drug offenses, 2nd felony C drug offenses, and Burglary 3rd.

• Division of Parole authorized to discharge nonviolent drug offenders prior to their maximum expiration date.

June 2009 • Conditional sealing (CPL 160.58) provisions took effect: Upon successful completion of a

judicial diversion program, the court may conditionally seal the instant offense and up to three prior misdemeanors. If the defendant is re-arrested, the records are unsealed.

October 2009 • Judicial diversion statute took effect with B, C, D, and E drug offenders and specified property

offenders eligible. • Resentencing authorized for indeterminately sentenced B felony drug offenders in State

DOCCS custody.

November 2009 • New crimes in effect: B Felony Sale to a Child, A-I Operating as a Major Trafficker.

Notes County Categories

• Information is often presented separately for New York City, Operation IMPACT and Other Counties due to significant differences between these categories.

• New York City Counties include Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens and Richmond. • Operation IMPACT Counties are 17 counties outside of NYC that account for 80% of index crime

reported: Albany, Broome, Chautauqua, Dutchess, Erie, Monroe, Nassau, Niagara, Oneida, Onondaga, Orange, Rensselaer, Rockland, Schenectady, Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester.

• Other Counties are: Allegany, Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Clinton, Columbia, Cortland, Delaware, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Genesee, Greene, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Livingston, Madison, Montgomery, Ontario, Orleans, Oswego, Otsego, Putnam, St. Lawrence, Saratoga, Schoharie, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates.

Plans for Outcome Evaluation • DCJS is collaborating with the Office of Court Administration (OCA), the Office of Alcoholism

and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) and the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) on a research design that will include assessments of treatment and criminal justice outcomes.

• Analyses show that a sufficient number of drug court cases can be linked to an OASAS database using the TRS-49 Consent Form to include OASAS treatment data in the research.

• Timeline: The follow-up period will begin in 2013 to allow sufficient time for drug court participants to complete treatment, which usually lasts for at least 18 months.

Race and Ethnicity • The information on race (white, black, other) and ethnicity (Hispanic vs. non-Hispanic) is

collected at DOCCS. This analysis presents a combination of race and ethnicity. Any individual with an ethnicity of Hispanic, regardless of reported race, is classified as Hispanic.

Initial Case Dispositions of Felony Drug Arrests by Region (2008 and 2010) 

The following section compares case processing of felony drug arrests before and after implementation of the drug law changes in October 2009.

Arrests of felony class B, C, D and E drug offenses in 2008 and 2010 were followed to initial case disposition, including diversion outcomes. Because DCJS’ Computerized Criminal History (CCH) file does not include data on diversion participation, data files that include felony drug court, Drug Treatment Alternative-to-Prison (DTAP), Structured Treatment to Enhance Public Safety (STEPS) and Alternative to Incarceration (ATI) participants were merged with CCH data to determine the extent to which the 2008 and 2010 arrestees participated in diversion opportunities. The case dispositions in the charts that follow are considered initial dispositions because the final sentences for diversion participants are contingent upon the participants’ success in the program.

Arrest flows are presented by county categories (New York City, IMPACT Counties, and Other Counties). Within the county categories, separate arrest flows are shown for first and second felony offenders. Arrests among second felony offenders exclude cases where the prior felony conviction was for a Violent Felony Offense; these cases have different sentencing requirements and are not eligible for diversion under Article 216 without the consent of the District Attorney. 

Initial disposition categories include the following:

• Dismissed: dismissals and cases not prosecuted • Discharged: conditional and unconditional discharges • Diverted: admissions to felony drug courts, participants in ATI and STEPS programs funded by

DCJS, DTAP participants, offenders sentenced to Willard Drug Treatment Campus, and other cases that are disposed as diverted and dismissed

• Time Served: convicted and sentenced to time served in jail while the case was being adjudicated

• Probation: sentenced to probation supervision, including split jail/probation sentences • Jail: sentenced to local jail for one year or less • Prison: sentenced to State prison for one year or more • Convicted No Sentence: pending or unknown sentence post-conviction • Not Yet Disposed: pending or unknown outcome

Drug Court Activity among Article 216-Eligible Cases, 2008-2011 The following section updates trends that were initially presented in a report produced by DCJS and the Office of Court Administration (OCA) (see http://www.criminaljustice.ny.gov/drug-law-reform/documents/drug-court-activity-report.pdf ). The trends in felony drug court screenings and admissions are now updated through 2011. Cases include screenings and admissions among offenders eligible for judicial diversion under CPL Article 216. Eligible offenses include felony level B, C, D, or E drug offenses and property offenses specified in Article 216 (Burglary 3rd, Criminal Mischief 2nd and 3rd, Grand Larceny 3rd and 4th - excluding firearms, Criminal Possession of Stolen Property 3rd and 4th - excluding firearms, Forgery 2nd, Possession of Forged Instrument 2nd, Unauthorized Use of Motor Vehicle 2nd, and Unlawfully Using Slugs 1st).

Judicial Diversion: How DCJS Defines Cases Eligible under Article 216 • Cases are considered Article 216-eligible based on their offense charge; this allows for

comparisons of similar cases before and after the drug law changes. • Counts include cases involving felony class B-E drug offenses and property offenses specified

in Article 216 of the Criminal Procedure Law. • Cases from OCA’s Universal Treatment Application (UTA) are matched to the DCJS

Computerized Criminal History File (CCH) to determine indictment/SCI offense. • Extensive validation is done at DCJS to ensure accuracy. • Cases are counted regardless of the court part. • Only cases that remain in felony court are counted as Article 216-eligible. • Eligible cases include many felony drug charges that do not require a prison sentence upon

conviction. • Eligible cases also include property offenses that do not require a prison sentence upon

conviction.
